Former FBI Director James Comey is making waves with his forthcoming book — but the memoir may be causing more criticism than he anticipated.

“A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership” is set to be released next week, but many media outlets have already received excerpts. People ranging from President Donald Trump to Congressman Trey Gowdy have already called out Comey for the book’s contents, and now even FBI members are criticizing its release.

CNN security correspondent Jamie Gangel told anchor Wolf Blitzer on Thursday that she had spoken to FBI sources, and they were upset about Comey’s book.

“I’ve talked to quite a few former FBI high-ranking sources. They are not happy,” Gangel explained. “They feel it crosses the line of professionalism.”

The reporter was referring to portions of Comey’s book that can only be described as petty, such as calling Trump “orange” and comparing hand sizes to see who was larger.

“When he says these things and goes this far, it further hurts (the FBI’s) reputation,” Gangel said of Comey.

Comey doubled-down on his pettiness during an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. Instead of walking back some of the anti-Trump rhetoric in his book, Comey leaned into them.

“I think it’s astonishing, the one thing an FBI director or former FBI director can do is dodge a question,” Gangel said about that interview. “So when you see him repeating certain words that are, no question, salacious, I’m just stunned that he went that far.”

Remember, this is a veteran reporter for CNN, certainly no Trump ally. When even journalists from Trump’s “arch enemy” news network are “stunned” at how low Comey decided to go, it’s worth noting.

Gangel and her FBI sources weren’t the only ones dismayed by the petty tone of Comey’s book. Gowdy had a similar reaction after he read portions of the memoir.

“I can’t think of anyone who’s done a better job of politicizing the FBI than he has in the last 36 to 48 hours, by talking about tanning bed goggles and the length of a tie,” Gowdy said. “That is beneath the dignity of the offices that he held.”

Throwing mud in a tell-all book might help sell copies, but it sure doesn’t seem to be helping Comey’s reputation. If anything, it illustrates exactly why the former director was let go in the first place.

Comey — as well as Andrew McCabe, who served as acting FBI director after Comey’s dismissal — have both shown attitudes of self-aggrandizement. They would apparently rather leak to the media, undermine the president, and sell books than do their jobs as professionals.

Both have been caught lying, or at the very least bending the truth, to fit a narrative.

Playing the hapless victim may have worked for Comey in the past, but the jig is up. He may have burned one too many bridges, and find the American people have run out of sympathy for his “woe-is-me” stories.

My sentiments exactly the American people are tired of the covering up of crimes sweeping things under the rug that should be prosecuted there has been too much corruption for way too long. Somehow we feel that the government feels that we are too stupid to know what goes on. They steal our hard worked for money without a thought call our Social Security and Medicare “Entitlements.” Let me tell you what Entitlements are: it is financial or other programs one has not earned or paid into but receive.. A government position for that gets you a lifetime pension that you have not paid into like the Americam have to do. That is what Entitlement means. America has to take care of it’s own first rather than try to take care of every nation on the face of the Earth rather than its own people. The Smerican People are real tired of it all.

I just wonder how his family is taking all of this, it has to be so hard on them, I don’t feel sorry for him, he should have been fired when he lied about Clinton, because of him she is still walking around, you just have to wonder what she had on him or how much she paid him to keep quiet. I think he belongs in jail along with Clinton’s. Obama’s and the rest of the crooks in Congress. But will he be above the law like the others, just does not seem fair, but with the Democrats nothing is fair, I was one myself but when Trump ran I just couldn’t be a Democrat anymore, I saw them for what they were. They are not for the people, they are for themselves, they have all gotten rich from us poor, and I really believe with Trump things will keep getting better, things are already better with Obama out of thee, was he one dirty RAT or what, he cared for nobody but himself. The worst “President in our history” for sure.

Hey LLO, I became a republican because of Trump as well. I think that the time has come to do away with the FBI altogether. I can’t help but wonder if there is even one honest person in the entire department!

Exactly correct, I could not have said it better. This whole Trump investigation is to keep from investigating the true criminals the last administration. So much in your face criminal activity its unbelievable. Yet all we here is BS everyday. Its time to bring back the fairnice doctrine but for the opposite. Use it on the mainstream media. Would it not be nice that for every liberal bs show they had to put on a conservative.

So true and I heard all of them got money from Soros. He has so much pride he had a great fall and now it is all showing up. I hope justice will be done as he knew ages ago about the Clintons money grab and said nothing for years.

they will never bring trump down.. they dont have a shred of evidence to do that… if so then it would have happened long ago… but snowflakes still hope.. and i dont know why . HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB.. look at your paychecka nd you will see

But you’re OK with pResident trump calling Comey a slime ball and other school yard insults? Really? trump is the worst thing to happen to America since Ronnie Raygun and Tricky Dick Nixon.

Best President so far!!!!!!!! I’m sure you loved that corrupt P.O.S. Obama right? Comey is a scumbag just like the rest. That’s why he was fired and now he’s seeking revenge. But i’m sure everything in his book is true? BULLSHIT

So like a Far left Soros follower. Ifg the facts and/or proof get in the way,go to name calling and change the subject. Soros and Obama,as well as both Clinton,must be so proud of your post,as worthless as it is.

Jim, Just wanted to advise an intelligent man like you that the word “to” in your post should have been spelled “too”,and “your” should have been “you’re”.. It’s not a good idea to call others “stupid”!

You are the stupid one to admire a president who beats every one up with his stupid tweets. Jim Comey has as right to defendn himself

The difference to the name calling is President Trump is attacking people with the names fitting their actions which is not personal and comey attacked someones size (hand size), How they dress (Tie), color of someone’s skin (orange). Big difference to call out integrity instead of personal attacks. President Trump gives people nicknames to fit with things they have done not on how they look.

What’s your problem Jimmy? I think Comey proved himself a Slime Ball! Ronald Regan was a True American, and did Lot’s of good while in office! You’re not from California are you? You sure sound like a Liberal Snowflake that don’t really know how far and fast America was failing under the Savior O’bummer!!

I agree totally Jim, if ever THERE is Evil it is in DUMPSad to see PEOPLE still SUPPORTING Dump. I guess they feel and think the SAME as Dump
Belittle, LIE, Con and STEALING TAXPAYERS MONEY.I really feel Bad for them, their luves must be in a PATHETIC WAY

If you believe, Christine, that Obama was a wonderful President then I don’t understand you at all. Being a registered Dem myself, I voted for Trump and before that I did not vote for Obama. Hillary Clinton would be another Obama in the White House trying to lead this country to join in George Soros’s global empire. I never trusted Obama from the first time I heard him speak. When he said over and over during his elections “Join me in changing this country” he did not mean for the better. Notice I have not called you any names or put you down in anyway. I also have not called Obama nor Clinton any names.

The words and actions, of former director of the FBI far outweigh those rude words of descriptions of President Trump. Of course they aren’t OK, for many of us, but those coarse words from President Trump, do not threaten the very roots of our country. Just watch and read the news and see how all of those connected to all of these rotten potatoes are throwing each other “under the bus.” The very reputation of the FBI is at stake because of the actions of a few people who have tried to use the power of their position to change what the people of the United States were wishing and then voted for. It’s even putting people who were not at fault but who have associated with them in their work in question. Watergate, as CNN has compared this thing, Is but a tiny stone in with the potatoes compared to this unsavory mess.

You can bitch all you want, Trump is doing what he said he’ll do. Name calling is schoolyard kids’ stuff. If our legal system does what it’s supposed to do, Comey, Clinton and the other’s, will be brought to justice. It’s out in the open, screaming to be heard…to be dealt with.

HE IS ACTING CRAZY LIKE HILLARY DID WHEN SHE LOST…EARTH 2?..ATTACKING OUR PRESIDENT WITH LITTLE BITCHY INSULTS?…CONSIDERING THE TROUBLE HE WILL BE IN….SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD WANT TO TALK ABOUT BIGGER THINGS…

not dumb enough to vote for your loser hillary thou and what did the democrats ever do to help the black race except to use their votes to get elected ad call the republican party racist every election. same old story

So Jim you feel that Trump supporters are dumb and racist. I am a conservative Republican have been for many years and I’m proud to say I voted for Donald Trump. Everybody wants to put us in a basket of deplorable’s. I should add that I am from California and work as a family practice provider and I’m in no way stupid and apparently able to think more clearly than you. If you’re not collecting extra money on your paycheck then you must be collecting SSI for doing nothing. That is the impression that you give all of us. As others have said, the president is keeping his promises. The liberal democratic action cannot stand that. I am proud to say that I am not a racist and every day take care of all races creeds, ethnic backgrounds; always respecting them. You would do well to do the same. As with Comey, you were doing nothing but embarrassing yourself and showing your ignorance and inability to show respect for our president. we did not shame ourselves I disrespecting Obama’s winning the presidency. And by the way one for the thing, I am from California and I’m ashamed of our state supporting sanctuary cities and not affirming the need to securely Vet all immigrants coming into our country. Many like me, had relatives who came here more than a century ago via ELLIS island.b they have been oppressed in their native countries and wanted to enjoy anything; and believe me people who went to Ellis Island or put too many indignities in order to become an American and live in the land of the free and the land of the brave.

My grandmother on my mother side on the listing by her parents in Russia with her my grandmother on my mother side on the listing by her parents in Russia with her two oldest brothers do you have a chance to live in freedom. I’ve been told by my mother that is but leave the rest of the day family , My grandmother’s mother and father and the seven other children, I believe to have perished during pogroms that was filled with hate and anti-Semitism. Shame on you for your lack of respect and lack of humanity!

And exactly who or what are you to be calling someone racist and dumb because they are hard working, tax paying Americans that have a brain to think for themselves, and in doing so, happen to disagree with you? I’m not stupid or a dumb ass. I have three college degrees, am a Christian, and decided for myself to vote for Trump. Wish you would research more and vent less. Stop broadcasting and get tuned in! God Bless America and help Trump make it great again.

Pay attention —- he doesn’t insult anyone until they insult him or his family and he has a perfect right to fire back. We finally have a person in the Oval office who trlls it like it is and you libtards can’t handle it.

He has pushed the FBI into the gutter, they cannot be trusted any longer! I hope that he gets investigated and found guilty of dirty dealing and eventually go to jail ! It is inconceivable that an FBI Director has done so much damage to an institution like the FBI and to this country!!!

The former director of the FBI and many of the people in the FBI are guilty of extreme corruption and there was much talked about the deep state we are in. It is reminiscent of the time when the FBI was run by Herbert Hoover. Wake up! You have your head in the sand and this ” draining of the swamp “. Is necessary to ensure the safety and integrity for all of us in this country. I have the sense that maybe you were not born here , And perhaps did not enter the country as expected and proper

Marty, Trump response to insult that is the difference. If Rosie kept her mouth shut there would never had a “war” with one another. Same as with Comey Trump did his best to find a good side to the guy. and paul ryan biggest back stabber ever and Trump is holding it all back knowing this idiot will do it just like comey. But Trump stays on the right side until he is jumped on and he jumps back and he is better at it. Snowflake democrat

stating that he didn’t want a stain on Hillary Clinton’s presidency because the polls said she was going to win, politiicized the FBI beyond repair. You don’t do an investigation with an eye on the poll, and looking not to have a person dislike you for what you are doing.

But tell me again, how many times do you have some 5 people being offered immunity and nothing comes from it, and the subject is treated with kid gloves and velvet mittens, and laws bent to make her escape the consequences of her actions.

To say that no qualified prosecutor would have taken the case was pure BA

Comey will be remembered in history as the jerk that tried to take down the duly elected President Of The United States Of America. He destroyed the dignity of the hard working and honest members of the FBI. He along with the other ͏Political enemies of America. McCabe, Struc, Psge, Brennen, Clapper, Clinton and Obama. have done all they could to undermine our elections.

Comey is part of the reason why me and millions of Americans have lost our faith in both the FBI and the DOJ. They have little integrity or impartiality left in the management ranks. A lot ot the agents in the field are probably good investigators but they take their orders from these tainted managers/Supervisory Agents/Agents in Charge/Field Directors………… AG Sessions needs to take the reins and start doing some damage control such as bringing criminal charges!

His interview with George was pitiful. When he said “it was certainly possible that Donald Trump was with prostitutes that urinated on each other”, I thought to myself, it is also “possible” that YOU could have been the one taking part in this perverted show . . . He will be quickly forgotten, just like Stormy Daniels and all of the other liars.

comey is a lying corrupt dirty cop and has given the FBI agency a blackeye that will last for decades. With him, mccabe, rosenstein, lynch, holder, clapper and brennan our justice system is deeply in the sewer.

I remember how esteemed I held the FBI until this decade. More than anything, I would like to know who politicized the FBI. It has
to be someone who does not love America. I now look with disdain at anything the FBI tells me. I believe that is a shame because it is
not the ‘rank and file’ that I mistrust but, the ‘chiefs’. We are losing
our freedoms in America. And the FBI ‘chiefs’ are leading the way.
Comey is a disgrace to the FBI. I’ll hold my opinion on a half dozen
others for the time being. I’m greatful that I am more alert now.

it started with the clintons and peering into files they had no business reading but they put pressure on some high mucky muck who had no backbone then obama used the fbi to assassinate good citien and appointed folks totally incompetent but followed order and there you have it when little people with no intestinal fortitude are given high power.

Comey thinks that he is still writing for his college paper. That is why he wrote this book. To get notoriety. So sad that he has to publicize his time at the Federal bureau of investigation. Since he is so deflated for losing his high esteem as the top guy in charge. He has egg on his face. He comes off looking like a child not an adult in writing this novel. Lol SMH!!!!

No words can express how small and petty he really is! He is so narcissistic and full of himself people can not help but loathe the lying, POS! He will never be respected in this nation again since his behavior and supposed leadership in an organization which at all times should never had a whisper of the crimes the scope of what this deceitful traitor brought upon it!

I think Comey is a piece if crap. A snake. And that his book should be confiscated and destroyed. Every single copy. If money is made from it, then the money should go into something other than his pocket. I also think he should be sued to the fullest extent.

I didn’t watch, but can’t avoid reading about it. I am astonished at how corrupt the FBI has gotten!! Qanon is outting all of the lies! I expect mail time for him and others who conspired against Trump!

Controversial?? Well, if you understand Comey is at the center of the, Controversy, then yea. Comey is displaying what got him fired, his own allowance for his own Controversial use of power, and use of power he wasn’t granted in his office.
Simply talking about orange hair, small hands, or another mans wife is not Controversial, it is though, the pathetic meanderings(pitiful, pitiable, piteous, moving, touching, poignant, plaintive, distressing, upsetting, heartbreaking, heart-rending, harrowing, wretched, forlorn) of a man denied power he became accustomed to and had taken away.

comey will be forever known as the FBI Leader who destroyed the FBIs REPUTATION Go ahead comey have your fun you key stone cop, you’ll be smiling out the side of your mouth with your head turned sidways on your prison bunk with your a s s up in the air waiting to receive your just rewards from your husband/cell mate ….and President Trump will get the last laff

Comedy is an embarrassment to the FBI and the American people. He should have done the right thing. Hillary and her cronies should be in jail. Wake up people! There’s a real leader in office looking out for America!! Vote Republican this year and show the crooked elite we mean business! TRUMP 20202!!!

Anyone ever holding a security clearance will tell you that letting Clinton off for her security crimes by Comey was illegal, politically motivated and an abuse of power. Any American citizen who committed those crimes would be in prison and fined by the FBI. American citizens want Obama and his administration to be held accountable for their crimes now. Quit stalling, quit running out the clock and quit wasting our damn hard earned tax money.

“Hell hath no fury like an FBI Director who’s been fired.
His petty, childish behavior was disgusting. My hands bigger than your hand,,wow.
Morally unfit to be President? Forget about Bill Clinton and his friend Richard (nick name not used here).
Forget Hilliary and her “criminal” behavior, but that was different.
All you accomplished Comey was to make yourself the angry kid who got kicked out
Of the game. Talk about women, he took the prize.
Our FBI needs a good cleaning out if this is what is working for us. Frightening to say the least.

With his present, petty pronouncements, James Comey has shown himself no better than a low level street punk. Once caught with his hands in a till, he covers himself with pity and slams the Cop that caught him. The FBI will have a big mountain to climb before it cleans itself from the scum their former Director has embroiled them in.

Comey he a done disservice to our country, he was a bad director of the FBI, if you watch on the
days he was infront of the congress you know he lied, even though he watch himself to keep it from people. He did lie!

Comey’s 15 minutes of fame will soon come to an end. Don’t buy the book!! You will hear all the “good” parts on talk shows. Don’t help this pompous SOB make money!! He does not deserve it. Let him fall by the wayside the way others have. He is a traitor to the once held in high esteem FBI. No one has ever done more to politicize the entire operation.

Comey admitted that his wife worked for the Clinton Campaign, not just voted for her, but worked for her election, that goes for his 4 daughters as well. That type of information should have been included in the vetting process for Trump administration level jobs. That makes it Trump’s fault for hiring a guy or gal from a family that is so clearly in the enemy camp. Furthermore, if I were advising the pres. I would tell him to pull every piece of data from every federal computer and every public source such as Facebook and look for indications that federal workers are complicit with the #resist movement. I would slap a label of “subversive” on the movement and fire or at least restrict the clearance of anybody tied to the movement. Once an election is over the winner should receive absolute support until the next election cycle by those who agree to be in his or her employ. Federal workers should be able to vote their conscience but not voice opinions counter to the executive or in favor of the executive for that matter. They all need to be apolitical in that respect.

I cannot understand how this man rose to such a high position. He has to be the most incompetent/unprofessional FBI director ever. He has single handedly brought disrespect to the FBI
with is selfish/boneheaded actions. I always had a lot of respect for the Bureau, he has caused me to have doubts. I’m sorry for the good people in the FBI, who had a director who did nothing but tarnish the reputation of the Bureau. He should have been fired long before he was!

James Comey in his book has the mind of a five yr old. He talks about the lengths and orange color etc. According to his atatements,he is totally incompetent as an FBI Director or a good loyal babysitter. He’s lost his integrity completely. All he can do now is make up lies.

These folks who are calling us Trump supporters dumb and racist are too stinking funny. They have drank the “obama/clinton kool-aid” . lol …and swallowed it in big big gulps!! WE and our awesome President are so NOT the ones who are dumb and racist, but bless their hearts…”the drink” has taken hold and they cannot think for themselves. They need obama and clinton to speak for them and tell them what is best and what they need and what to think. lol GOD BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP!!
**NOTE** DO NOT write to me and tell me i didn’t put clinton and obama in capitols. I KNOW I didn’t.

All the people who are stating negative comments about Comey are the uneducated people who voted for Trump. They represent racist at the highest level. It okay that Trump talk negatively about everyone but Comey stands up to him. Comey is a strong man that would not take Trump shit and you people are Trump supporters who refuse to see how bad he is for the country. Do any of you believe in the decency of mankind? Do you have any morals at all? Trump will bring this country down. We will go into another bad recession and you fools who are the uneducated whites that voted for him will be in worst shape than ever. All through the election they referred to you as the uneducated whites, how do you feel about that? Remember, there have been an increase in jobs but I bet you uneducated votes did not benefit from the increase in jobs. You are still unemployed and waiting on government handouts. You can always ask Trump for a loan.

Scott…you are the misinformed individual. I quote you-“We will go into another bad recession and you fools who are the uneducated whites that voted for him will be in worst shape than ever. All through the election they referred to you as the uneducated whites, how do you feel about that? Remember, there have been an increase in jobs but I bet you uneducated votes did not benefit from the increase in jobs. You are still unemployed and waiting on government handouts”.

I for one have never had a single hand out in my entire life. I am college educated and the rest of us that are also college educated have the foresight to see where crooked Hillary would have taken this country…She would have taken the USA all the way to Hell, finishing what Obama had started. Get wiser, it will do you some good.

Comey was in Clinton’s pocket before he was ousted. He is a ‘small’ person and I am not referring to his stature. He lost his behind the scenes income when he was put out of the FBI and I am glad he is gone. Swamp resident he was.

He needs to be prosecuted for leaking info that belonged to the Government & obstructing justice in the Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch MATTER. And once convicted let him loose his ENTITLEMENT. His pension……
